BATON ROUGE - If there was a window for former LSU football star Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu to return to the team, it may have closed shut on Thursday.

Mathieu and three other former members of LSU's footbal team - quarterback Jordan Jefferson and defensive backs Karnell Hatcher and Derrick Bryant - were arrested on marijuana related charges and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish jail late Thursday afternoon after Baton Rouge Police searched Mathieu's apartment near the LSU campus. As of 10 p.m., all four remained in jail.
